Guided tour of the Saint-Benoît chapel
The Saint Benoît chapel, opposite the waterfall of the same name, dates back to the 11th century. Constantly enlarged, its interior decoration dates from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Description
A major building in the commune of Avrieux, the Saint Benoît chapel is well worth a visit for its history and décor. Probably built around the 11th century, the chapel was enlarged until the 20th century, and features an 18th-century decoration by a local priest and a 19th-century stencil decoration. A place of pilgrimage, it is home to hundreds of different ex-votos.
